105. This Boat is WEIRD (In a Good Way) [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

[@19Sorb]

Iv done a delivery trip on one , one of the best boats i have ever sailed on , everything practical and thought out, a proper all round livaboard cruising boat-- absolutly enjoyed staying on one for the best part of a month

[@tswrench]

Sailing performance?

[@ronbuckner8179]

This is the best thought out water craft I've seen.

[@davidamoritz]

Lots of great built into the hull features.

[@loneagwolf306]

The Maverick 440 has already made my top five, but these reviews make it better

[@rauldempaire5330]

Then, what are your top five?

[@eljefe1153]

Enjoyed your tour. Maverick is a awesome Catamarans with lot of space, ventilation and quality. For the 24-7 living and heading around the world. Perfect!!. Thanks again for your vid.

[@sizzlemann]

That Maverick 440 hybrid is a thing of beauty! Wish I could afford one.

[@eaunan]

excellent video. this is the first time I've ever considered a catamaran as something to consider...thanks for posting this. I liked the Maverick guy explaining the boat, too...that was an interesting and much appreciated segment.

[@shawnwilson6064]

I'm 76 inches tall. This one made my top 3. Rudy was very kind and explained all the redundant systems. Very well thought out.

[@bhoits4147]

I like and respect that you guys are giving a new-looking a new angle to potential buyers. It must be nice jumping on new vessels and exploring them

[@BadBobV65]

Most likely because they are considered custom. A quick google search turned up 2 on the used market. $440k and $495k. Too rich for my blood.

[@oreospeedwaggindoesamerica6078]

I’ve been doing a lot of looking and research on catamarans and hope to buy one in the next year. Well for what I want to do this is easily my favorite boat so far!!

[@davsor08]

I confess openly to being an armchair admiral :D but I do so enjoy some of these sailing channels and to lose myself to a dream of sailing the seven seas. So far, my favorite boats have been the monohull Sirius 40DS and the catamaran Privilege 585 - but this one is my new contender, for sure. Looks like an extremely comfy vessel :)

[@lesstevens2370]

Plus they didn't tell you this boat can be beached on low tide it was designed that way then you can do repairs or cleaning with out paying those dry dock fees

[@CajunWolffe]

To say I'm impressed would be an understatement. Okay, I'm a monohull sailor but am warming up to a catamaran, I love this boat, and it's so well thought out. This is a blue water cruiser in the truest sense, and Robert knows his product! I agree, Jordan, a forward-facing nav station is a must. I'd like to see the sail inventory she carries but can look it up. The only negative that stands out is the fact I don't have enough money to buy one. Another great video guys, Kudos!

[@MrRourk]

They are getting better.

[@CajunWolffe]

@@MrRourk To me, it's not about getting better; they have a unique style being an attractive bright young couple and not some slick yacht salesman with a $300 haircut. Kudos Jordan for your excellent marketing skills. It's their emotional reactions, excitement, the ous, and ahhs as things exciting or unique are discovered. They both have a good knowledge of navel terms and all the various functions of the boats as they rebuilt and sail their own sailboat.

[@ryanchristopherson374]

The impressive aspect to me, that you couldn't explore, is how well thought out the mechanical and electrical layouts are. Everything serviceable is easy to reach and easy to see. They really thought out every bit of this design.

[@scottmarkham9466]

Y'all's perfect boat . That tub would be perfect for Morgan !

[@IanHobday]

One of the best cats for long distance cruising, for sure. There’s a hatch over that bath tub that you can leave open in the rain, the tub catches the water and you can still have interval ventilation regardless of the weather.

[@aussiefarmer6012]

The best 44 in my opinion. It's all in the smart design and quality. It's not weird to do things better but different to the others, its innovative and clever. Thanks for the review.

[@edrosenberger6947]

This is my all-time favorite catamaran....great job of showing it to us!!

[@BuzzSargent]

Thank you for the fun and enjoyable tour of the Maverick 440. I wish I won the lotto so I can get one. Happy Trails

[@evagreenwell3610]

I was not expecting to come across this. Mavericks are hands down my favorite catamaran ever since I first clapped eyes on one a few years back on Cruising Off Duty's channel. Thanks so much for posting this!

[@bionicsasquatch]

I'm looking into Catamaran and I enjoy the style and function of this one great job showing this one to us .

[@jimineyeonguard4273]

I believe the laundry being relocated to "work shop bunk room" would make an ideal opening for the forward facing nav station thus keeping the nice reclined seating as is starboard forward...

[@robertschiering6037]

Yes, the Maverick 400 FRISKY has a forward facing helm station in this position. You can see a photo of this following the link www.maverick.life/gallery?lightbox=dataItem-jhkb5bvq

[@music-man]

I really like this! Thanks so much for posting. I was looking at the seawind 1260 and the Discovery 50 but this was a very cool cat and a great layout. I agree I would have the Nav station facing forward and the bathtub I would do without. cheers guys great video.

[@dal8963]

Keep the tub as it was also the shower pan for the shower, the tub is a great resale point as a women the tub sold me on this boat. Thinking of relaxing in a bath or bathing small children this is a must have.

[@michynature]

d al agreed. A tub is often a necessity for me.

[@LearningtheLines]

Big thanks to Ridge for sending us these wallets and supporting the channel! Here’s the site if you want to check them out! > ridgewallet.com/lines

[@hema3853]

Hey ihr beiden. Da ich mir einen kleinen katamaran selber bauen will, hole ich mir viele inspirationen, so bin ich auf Euren KZbin Chanel gelandet . Danke für eure ausführlichen Vorstellungen. Weiter so, hab mal ein Abo da gelassen . 😀 Liebe Grüße aus Germany. Henry 👍👋😎

[@namechamps]

I have always thought a boat with a dedicated workshop would be great. Not just tools in engine room or cockpit lockers but a dedicated workshops. Tools, spare parts, workbench, vise, dedicated high power inverter for tools. Ok pretty nerdy that I think the workshop is the coolest part.

[@crustyoldsalt5562]

love it been dreaming of getting a maverick 440 for some time now just gotta find the right sponsor or win the lottery love he t-shirt robert

[@FeelItRising]

Nice to see them not using wood everywhere in the cabins. Just easier to maintain

[@hermitoldguy6312]

Wood's also heavy, expensive and dark.

[@martinbuinicki1056]

And I missed it in the owner's cabin! Helps keep touch with nature and helps moderate the humidity. Oh, and it looks nice. Otherwise it's like sleeping in an ice chest/cooler.

[@BOARDMAN16456]

*THAT BOAT WAS GREAT, LOVED THE LAY OUT, BATH ETC, AMAZING*

[@josephhertzberg2734]

This boat is a dream. Absolutely love it

[@kevchard5214]

I am not a cat fan but this one is extremely nice and practical.

[@CajunWolffe]

Practical is the operative word.

[@hymanocohann2698]

Good job Maverick, robust, reliable, redundant, repairable and relivant to need. Y'all gotta winner there, if you can deliver.

[@Bliparama]

Hyman O'Cohann Search Maverick 400 Andando on you tube and see if you still stand over your comments.

[@fxpthl]

Now That was an awesome design and layout! So many unique features and all set out just for live-aboards. Pricing?

[@jonnorousseau3096]

South Africa is catamaran central, from the fastest to some of the most luxurious bespoke cats on the market. Gunboat, Exquisite, Maverick, Leopard, Knysna, St Francis Marine, Nexus, all SA designed and built. Good fast, strong, seaworthy boats. Not my personal style, but she'll sail well

[@CheersWarren]

Very cool boat , the bath that seems odd does mean you don't have joints and seams that are potential leak point. It probably is lighter than an built up shower base. Cheers Warren

[@000001willy]

One of the nicest catamarans on the market. I might beef up the helm set up for a two-seater helm.

[@yanivbaron5320]

I love that you guys are doing film on how to purchase a boat this way

[@bobbates6642]

A tub on a boat is a very good thing. People who get a sun burn that really hurts can find nearly instant relive from pain for hours by soaking in a tub of cool water with vinegar in the water as it will really help the person .

[@jamesroesser9300]

that cat is really wicked and functionable keep up the great work you two great job

[@servicarrider]

I could live aboard this so easily. Perfect lay out, for me.

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Man, now THAT was a cool boat!!! Thnx guys!

[@rssea814]

Beautiful, well thought out boat. Thanks for the tour!

[@MonkPetite]

Not weird but perfect I like it a lot .. it looks very cozy and warm. Nice well thought true interior. A nice competitor for outremer

[@russellesimonetta3835]

I like a helm station in the lounge. Don,t need a bathtub! I think heads should be compact. I liked the shelves. Nice boat.

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Beautiful boat.

[@parmfamily]

Hmmm... we did not come across that one. So glad you decided to record it as one toured.

[@andermac1]

Another beautiful boat with an amazing design👍

[@C_R_O_M________]

Could you please show the headroom in the boats you show? Us tall persons are interested in that aspect.

[@edwardhazelden6424]

Very nice, thoughtfully put together boat

[@stevesvids2960]

Like a lot of the features, but wondering about the combo cleat/chain plate and how, while docked in high winds, might it not stress the rig unnecessarily? Good job and vid!

[@theressafortier]

I am in love with this boat!

[@skyak4493]

Excellent boat. It leaves me wondering if it is priced out of my range. If it's just another $100k or two beyond a production boat loaded up with the same premium stuff then Mavrick is the way to go.

[@scottgenius9189]

NIIICCCEEE ! Thank you for the Tour

[@acts9531]

Very, very nice boat. So what is the price as it sits right there as is and where it's at? (I realize that this is already owned and a private boat, I want to know what it would cost to get one exactly as depicted. The "book value" as it were.) I heard what you said but still I don't get what's "weird" about it? Except that if by "weird" you mean way nicer features than most of its peer boats.

[@davidd3377]

A lottery dream catamaran! Awesome set up and big enough as well. You guys hit the nail on the head when you said weird in a good way!

[@radamspse]

If you want a forward Nav station I would put it where the washing machine is at present and relocate to washer to the "workroom". That would leave the "day" bed which I think is a great watch bed for the off-watch person ie close at hand and within hailing distance !!

[@mmcalifornia8600]

Wow, this boat is set-up great!

[@dennismacdonald2003]

Awesome tours you two do and sweet couple. Never thought I'd like a catamaran but this 1 sweet

[@adamcturnbull]

Can someone tell me if there's a keel? He said it's designed to be beached so is there a dagger board?

[@rodgoddard6373]

I've been checking out cats for over 40 years and this is one that really impresses me. How does it sail?

[@cptnjack42]

The Maverick 440 is on my short list it is very well thought out and has everything you need to get out there , love the channel

[@robfritz841]

I worry the ‘hybrid’ chain plate may be risky because screws pulled in various angles?

[@joshuamunywoki]

Such a cool boat/catamaran

[@cyberdude1010]

By far my favorite catamaran ever!

[@deibertmichael]

My favorite cat! So comfy!

[@yaa63]

Beautiful catamaran 😍😍😍😍😍✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@lesthompson7923]

Looks to me like those aft seats near the sugarscoops might also be designed for reverse seating for reeling in large 🎣 fish...

[@robertschiering6037]

Yes, that's right. You have the rocket launches for your fishing rod next to the seat and when you have a tug on your line you can turn around and fight the fish from there.

[@alanduncan9204]

One thing missing. Can you give me the next Lottery winning numbers please? Great design for a Cat. It looked like 2 RV's side by side it was hard to tell you were on a boat.

[@joeblow1942]

It would have been interesting to hear the builders take on why they combined the cleat to the chainplate. No redundancy there, though.😉

[@brimstone33]

My guess is that because it's the strongest point amidship, it's the perfect place for a long drogue bridle. Trailing a drogue at that point should produce less motion than trailing from the stern. Also where you'd want it if you had to steer with a drogue. And it eliminates a deck perforation (all boats are gonna leak through the deck eventually so the fewer holes the better), gives you something solid to hang on to when handling spring lines, and makes the perfect spot to do a temporary one-line tie up such as at a fuel dock. With that little step indentation you can stand on the midship line to pull the boat towards you at the dock using your weight, grab hold of a shroud and hop right on relatively safely.

[@davidolson7575]

Great nice video and a very very nice Cruising boatb

[@NoneyaTexasontheback20]

It’s always nice seeing a new boat, I still prefer the lagoon and we are looking to purchase just not new, on $500,000 budget we have found several 50 footers hope to see y’all someday sailing. Great video

[@josephhertzberg2734]

Man, I hope you didn't go with the Lagoon after all their bulkhead issues. I like this boat soo much better

[@slinday21]

Out of all the youtubers that went this year, I only saw one, and that was as they ran past me late.

[@h.v7461]

Skubasteve21: that’s too bad. I was fortunate to meet Wiley Sharp, Paul and Sheryl Shards from Distant Shores, Jordan and Desiree from Project Atticus, author Lin Pardy world sailboat traveler, and Craig and Janice from Cruising Off Duty. Didn’t meet them but did take a tour of Lavagabonde boat. I would have been nice to meet Jordan and Randi but I just started watching their channel, maybe next year.

[@num1sooner]

Boat what boat, I can’t get past that heart shaped face and illuminating smile!! WOW

[@Jacob-W-5570]

That helm station didn't look safe at all from my perspective. It felt like it was on the very edge of the starboard hull, with nothing but water right behind the chair. also from the chair you couldn't reach the weel ??

[@scottcrossman7021]

Great channel! You do an awesome job pointing out details of the boats. I’m researching the Gemini catamaran and would love it if you can tour of a Gemini. I know there are several for sale in Florida right now.

[@bobhowell9388]

this might be the best configuration of a Cat I've seen yet

[@ldcy0875]

Best I’ve seen yet by far!

[@monsterhog1118]

The cockpit table turns into a stripper pole? 😁🖒

[@frankmoore3598]

So does the price stop it from being The Forever Boat ?

[@OvertravelX]

There is a 2014 on Yachtworld for the low, low price of $440K. So not my forever boat...

[@dal8963]

Design was great, I would buy this boat as a 1 choice out of all cats I've seen

[@showusyaguppysaustralia1515]

I love the lagoon cats but this is something else , definitely well thought out cat.. wish i had the coin!

[@karaDee2363]

I love everything about this boat, so bright and roomy inside. And I would love to sail around the world and live on it, but I bet it's out of my price range....

[@goulash75]

I kinda feel like you guys have just found your perfect cat. Are you SURE you wanna build your own? ^_^

Didn't know you guys came to annapolis! I work in annapolis! Wouldve been awesome to meet you guys in person!

[@klbshack]

Maverick is also coming out with an all electric with tons of solar on top and lithium ion throughout. I will wait an year or two to see how those perform, but yes, this is our goal for our full time cruising boat.

@@banjonichols3063 That might work. I think in general for boats past about $50K nobody talks price in the vids. Maybe, because there is so much customization on those boats, a starting price is unrepresentative?

[@playb4work447]

I was actually disappointed in this cat. I found there was a lack of head height, I'm 6'1" and I couldn't stand in front of the kitchen sink with out tilting my head 45 degrees. There was also a lack of head room in the master shower. The idea that you have to step out of the safety of the cockpit to handle the lines and winches is a miss for me . Also I found there were too many angles on deck with too many trip hazards.

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

[@darrenedwards5925]

OK ,, YOU GOT MY ATTENTION ,,, going to look at this one ,, as long as it rides high in the middle ,, might have a buyer,, cheers

[@clarisd]

I do wish that this vessel would be kitted with the Regen propeller system and electric motors as well as solar that is thin and flexable and with corrugated under insullated panels to keep them cooler under as well as Soft teak or flex teak could also be a solar collector as well! that would fit myself as I would be sailing more than motoring. I however would still have the disel/ blue generator for emergenices!!!! (blue as in VW has the disel blue system for cleaner operation and better lower fuel consumption. The entire point I would sum up to make is a vessel that would be dynamically kitted to live off grid!

[@56Spookdog]

I wouldn’t put the stove top right next to the passage way stairs seems like it could be a potential burn hazard.

possiblr stupid question why is the driving area so far back in the ship, I would think you would want it far forward giving you more living space and be able to see more clearly what your driving through
